part 7...Outro

lyrics

Yeah I'm waiting
Down by the border.
Waiting for the sun to rise
Yeah I'm waiting
For my chance to cross,
Leave this chaos behind.

It was years ago that I left this place,
And I can not remember one single face.
But I can see the river like a snake,
Slinking through the deserts heavy hot shape.
And it brings to me a certain ache,
A thirst that I can not shake.

Ring,
Ring the bell.
Help me break this spell.

I've wrapped myself up in booze warm embrace,
Been a complete and utter disgrace.
Been a thorn under foot and a pain in the arse.
I've shown absolutely no class.

I've toyed withe the enemy,
And I've soaked myself in sin.
But now,
Now I begin.
Cos I'm bored,
Of the blood and the sword.
Bored of it all.

I'm tired of this existence,
and I can't believe I insisted.
How easily I dismissed it.
And the dream that need be fed
Is finally dead,
No more blood need be shed.

Won't you ring,
Ring the bell.
Help me break this spell.
you ring,
Ring the bell.
Help me break this spell.
